On the east bank of Cijian, Wang Yanzhang, an iron gun man, fought against the six hussar generals of the Xuanjia Army alone. He did not lose, and another general of Wang Shichong, Shan Xiongxin, was not idle either. He was seen waving the Zaoyang gun, like a chasing dog. Like a tiger of its prey, it was killing under Li Shimin's commanding flag without hesitation.
"Li Shimin, please die! There won't be Yuchi Gong coming to save you this time!"
Because several leading generals in the Xuanjia Army were dragged aside by Wang Yanzhang, although the Xuanjia Army was elite, ordinary soldiers were still unable to stop Shan Xiongxin.
So after a bloody battle, Shan Xiongxin finally rushed under the commander's flag. With a roar, the tip of the tree flashed with a cold light, and he stabbed out with the roar of the wind.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Shan Xiongxin has entered the vigorous martial state. The force is +4, the basic force is 95, and the current force has increased to 99."
clang!
Li Siyuan, who was under the handsome flag, sneered and faced the attack without hesitation. The two long spears collided violently in mid-air, making a sound of gold and iron clashing.
"Ah, you... you are not Li Shimin, who are you?"
After the collision, Shan Xiongxin's expression suddenly changed. When he was at Hongnong City, he once chased and killed Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin was good at fighting, his martial arts were average, at best, they were at the level of Yang Gongqing and Guo Shiheng. But the man in front of him was very skilled in martial arts, even better than himself. How could he be Li Shimin?
"Hahaha!"
Li Siyuan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to take off his disguise, revealing his resolute face, and said: "Shan Xiongxin, I am the adopted son of Li Keyong, the king of Hanyang County in the Tang Dynasty, and I am Li Siyuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei. Why is Wang Shichong so clever? If you can hide it from the eyes of the King of Qin, Shan Xiongxin, if you know the truth, you can get off your horse and be bound now."
"Damn it, damn it!"
Shan Xiongxin cursed angrily, hurriedly turned his horse's head, and shouted: "Brothers, we have fallen into a trap. Li Shimin is no longer here at all. Hurry, retreat quickly!"
"Where to go?"
Li Siyuan shouted loudly and immediately chased after him.
Wang Shichong reined in his horse and stood on a high slope, observing the battlefield situation with a serious expression. When he saw Shan Xiongxin break through the Tang Army's obstruction and take "Li Shimin" under the Tang Army's commander's flag, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
But what happened next was far beyond his expectation. When "Li Shimin" saw Shan Xiongxin, he not only did not retreat, but instead urged his horse to charge directly at Shan Xiongxin. Shan Xiongxin only exchanged blows with him and then hurried back. Escape. Although he didn't hear what Shan Xiongxin was shouting, he basically guessed what was going on. Suddenly his eyes darkened and he almost fell off his horse.
"Lord!"
The personal guard general Liu Shili on the side was also a smart man. When he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Shichong and advised: "My lord, keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood. Order the withdrawal quickly. If the main force of the Tang army breaks through Yang Gongqing and Guo Shiheng's If you stop us, we will be in danger of being annihilated!"
Wang Shichong shook his head vigorously, nodded and said: "You are right, send the order to withdraw the troops quickly!"
"yes!"
Liu Shili cupped his hands and was about to summon the messenger to give the order. To the west, there were loud shouts of killing. Countless Tang army elite cavalry trampled the dust flying like tigers descending the mountain. They shouted in unison to cover up and kill them.
Li Xuanba, Pei Xingyan, Shanshituo and other fierce generals took the lead, urging their horses to rush into the crowd at high speed. The weapons in their hands flashed with cold light. It was really like gods killing gods and Buddhas. Wherever the horses' hooves passed, corpses were strewn on the ground and blood flowed like rivers. .
When the Xuanjia Army, which was besieged in the core, saw the arrival of their own reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted. They all took the lead bravely and attacked the king's army from both inside and outside with the main reinforcements. They killed the king's soldiers and horses with their heads rolling around and piles of corpses.
When Wang Shichong's order to retreat came, the soldiers of Wang Shichong who were fighting hard retreated back like an ebbing tide as if they had been granted amnesty.
Li Shimin rode his horse slowly across Jianshui. The general Li Jilong who was following him saw that Wang Shichong's army had retreated and said excitedly: "Your Highness, Wang Shichong has retreated. The general thought that our army could take advantage of this opportunity to advance and win, and there must be great gains!" "
Li Shimin shook his head slightly: "Although Wang Shichong was defeated, it was not a major defeat. Although his army was defeated, the formation was not in chaos, which shows that they still have the strength to fight. What's more, didn't I say long ago that I would let Wang Shichong back? Luoyang is fighting with the Sui army. How can he fight the Sui army without leaving some troops for him? Send an order..."
"Your Highness, there, look there!"
While Li Shimin and Li Jilong were having a conversation, Du Ruhui, the counselor on the side, suddenly changed his expression. He pulled Li Shimin tightly, pointed his finger in the distance and said loudly.
Li Shimin looked in the direction Du Ruhui pointed, and his expression suddenly changed. I saw thousands of Tang Army cavalry suddenly rushing out from the dense forest behind the Wang Army, bringing up the smoke and dust in the sky, and rushing towards Wang Shichong's commanding flag like sharp arrows leaving their strings.
Li Shimin was so anxious that his eyes wanted to spit out fire. He turned away from his usual elegance and calmness and roared loudly: "Whose soldiers and horses are those? Didn't I order Wang Shichong to be spared? The officers and soldiers must not hurt Wang Shichong?"
When Li Jilong heard this, he quickly looked over there. After seeing the flag clearly, he cautiously said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, King Qin, they are playing as if it is the flag of His Highness King Qi!"
"Motoji?"
Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then roared angrily: "Isn't he in Tongguan? Why does he appear here?"
Du Ruhui on the side grabbed Li Shimin's arm tightly and said anxiously: "Your Highness, now is not the time to find out why King Qi is there. Hurry up and send someone over to give King Qi an order, telling him not to harm Wang Shichong. life! Once Wang Shichong died, his subordinates were leaderless. Although the Sui army captured Luoyang and killed Wang Xuanying, our hatred against them is deeper. In comparison, they are more likely to be incorporated by the Sui army."
"That's what Keming said!"
Li Shimin nodded, turned to Li Jilong and said: "Hurry up and send someone to stop Li Yuanji and tell him that if he dares to resist the order, he will be punished by military law even at the risk of being executed by his father in the future!"
Li Jilong had never seen Li Shimin lose his composure like this before. His heart trembled, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I will obey your orders!"
Li Yuanji took a long way from the upper reaches of Cijian to behind Wang Shichong. This was also the suggestion of his confidant General Li Guiren. If he followed the route Li Shimin's army took to rush to the Cijian battlefield, they would definitely be blocked by Li Shimin, and most likely they would not be able to kill Wang Shichong. Although taking a detour from upstream will waste time, the battle between Wang Shichong and Li Shimin will definitely not end in a short time, so this time is still worth it.
Li Yuanji heard what Li Guiren said was reasonable, and immediately agreed to Li Guiren's suggestion, and led his subordinates to take a detour from the upper reaches of the stream. By coincidence, they killed Wang Shichong's back when the king's army was retreating.
